Was signing Jeremy Lin the dumbest free agent signing of all time?

I've never seen this in NBA history. You had two starting PGs on your roster, let them both walk so you could overpay a guy that doesn't seem like he belongs on a basketball court.

Goran Dragic signed a 4 year 30 million dollar deal.

Kyle Lowry had 2 years 12 million left on his deal.

Jeremy Lin signed a 3 year 25 million dollar deal.

Dragic: 15.4/3/6.5

Lowry: 18.3/5.7/6.0

Lin: 10.5/4.2/6.2 38.6%

Other bad moves can at least be explained, trying to fill a need, trying to win now, weak market, trade demands, team chemistry, trying to shed salary, trying to rebuild. None of which explains the Lin signing.

Dwight Howard is a Top 5 Center of All-Time, no one in this league can touch him.

The Orlando Magic are a dominant contender and are a better franchise than I ever thought possible.

thats not the WORST of ALL TIME. cmon. is he underperforming? sure. but he's 24 and is coming back from an injury.

how about gilbert for 120 mil? or rashard lewis for a max contract.

id say nene is a worse contract right now too, hes getting a max contract and hes pulling in just over 4 rebounds a game

Look at the big picture, though and you can at least make sense of those deals. Wizards and Denver were trying to make a push for the playoffs while maintaining their core. If they let those guys walk, the teams get worse in the immediate future.

Rashard Lewis was in a weak free agent market. Orlando had money to spend, if they didn't spend it, they would lost cap space while remaining neutral.
